“Inside the Great Halls of Us”



Inside 
The Great Halls of Us,
there resides a ghost 

IT hides in plain sight,
waiting quietly, alone, 
in our dark

there, IT holds ITs light,
to draw us further in,
we nervously laugh IT...

"Monsters in My Head"



the small gods
inside of us
worry too much

they speak in tongues
that never know the 
depth of what is real or not 

for tongues 
they never think
they just have a taste for blood

trading gossip...

V. "The Great Collective Awakening"

Aren't we the true definitive problem,
     not just astray-
     malignant corporations…
Or unresponsive governments ?
We are faulted; consumers

Looking back on when we were Young so long ago
It's so sad 
When I think of all the things we had
And magical things we used to do
Fate and providence Brought us together
Fate and providence tore...

Drifting on the clouds I lie
With my head pointing
To yonder skies
In a sea of dreams 
 Where mind and spirit 
Igniting natures prize
To feel like you are heaven bound 
But feet standing firmly
 On hallowed...

A conversation that ends as you sweep through the door
I didn't quite hear, my position unsure
So I'll make idle chit chat on your return
Test the water, see what I can learn
Oh maybe I imagined it,...

It was a dry, dusty day when I saw the wheelbarrow, with long handles made of dark wood. 
The wheel is struggling as it carries its burden, but it manages the job that it should....

O' poets switch off all senses but one
as you enter this arena of aroma
as I nose out the world's perfumes
to boost thy nasal stamina.

A dainty phial of perfume is indeed
a perfect and preferred present
It's the...

Dozing before take-off. Patients etherized and unable,
Evening  spread into the distance
Silly solitaire cards spread on pull-down table. 
I  hate toves with  imagined importance
Giving direction to momeraths who do not need  it....

Pandora's Box

Is truly alive and well

Thriving to this very day 

Streaming and beaming away

Into the vast majorities of family homes

Not actually opened 

But rather willingly freely 

Switched on under the misguided illusion

We believe and buy...

It takes guts to be in a wheelchair
Twelve years ago

My first day I ran away early
I had transport issues
I got a lift with another wheelchair man's...

Nature’s omens are crystal clear,
Horrendous and awful signs we see...

A day comes,
here comes the sunrise
Making its dawn to feel new and fresh
And smells perfect
That’s when i realized that i play to win,

As the sunlight flashes away

Although I've tried to understand your reasons for what you do,
sometimes I just turn my switch off, and ignore the nonsense.
Repeating the same ignorant remarks which obviously tweek my heart and soul,
you've really been asking...

Whilst listening out for the pitching and
cresting frequency of the turbines and
blades from the wind farm upon 
Frankenstein's castle on the hill

Mistress of the pale rose deftly ballet
dancing the breeze from the inside out

Cloudless the sky over beautiful water,
Sunlight at dawn as the day starts to break,
Open the blinds to let in the new day and,
Smile as the sunshine confirms they’re awake.
Croissants for breakfast with strong filter coffee,

When I grew up there was no such thing
as microwave or t.v dinner's they hadn't
even been inverted yet

Come 6 o'clock we had to gather round the
dinning room table for evening meals and
parentally enforced family time...

Community, do you remember that
Our rapidly changing world, has stripped community from behind our backs

Technology connects us across the globe
But sometimes isolates us within our own minds, at home

Our smartphones and social media promise connection

Help! I can’t find sleep.

 

Tired eyes and aching limbs

A mind that seeks a rest,

It’s time to put my jarmies on

And don’t forget my vest!

 

As I switch off all the plugs

And check around of me,

Curiously I...

I’ve never given much thought, about the last train to Auschwitz 
for indeed every train, was intended to be ones last,

Except for the guards, who sit atop the cattle cars
As the human livestock, slowly asphyxiates...

I think we should have a
World Sex Day
A universal energy release to
cure Mother Earth
All we do is probe her
private parts
With drilling machines,
bombs and nuclear waste
And leave her on heat
Dissatisfied
Unloved
We leave her oozing with
acidic rain and...
